Acapulco’s Legacy
Acapulco is still famous for its nightlife and still attracts many vacationers, although most are now from Mexico itself. The resort area is divided into two: The north end of the bay is the “traditional” area, where the famous in the mid-20th century vacationed; and the south end is dominated by newer luxury high-rise hotels.
Acapulco is best known as one of Mexico’s oldest and most well-known beach resorts, which came into prominence in the 1950s as a vacation destination for Hollywood stars and other rich and famous jetsetters.
